Comments on: FAVRE SAYS, “I’M NOT A TRAITOR” http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/07/favre-says-im-not-a-traitor/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Wed, 03 Dec 2008 03:08:34 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: original titletown http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/07/favre-says-im-not-a-traitor/#comment-72826 original titletown Sun, 10 Aug 2008 00:45:21 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/08/07/favre-says-im-not-a-traitor/#comment-72826 I have lost all respect for this man in the past 24 hours. I just took my Favre memorabilia out of my office and put it in a box. I might take all of it, along with my authentic #4 jersey and put it on ebay in exchange for a stick of gum and a couple of marbles. It sounds like there is plenty of blame to go around on this one and Ted Thompson is shouldering a majority of it. What did Favre really expect though? You can't waffle every year and then officially retire and expect to come back once again. I actually shed a tear during this a-holes retirement speech! In his quest to spite Ted Thompson and Packer Management he also managed to spite the entire Green Bay Packers fan base. You may have wanted to take that into consideration Brett. You went from being the epitome of Class Act to complete Ass Clown. And seeing Jets fans so excited that you would think they just won the lottery, that is what has me feeling so nausiated. Enjoy another 4-12 season and prepare to get comfy on your couch during playoff time. Crack open a six-pack, inhale a few Vicadin and nibble on a few crackers…….but stay away from the Cheese! Traitor? No doubt.....Remember, If he had his first choice, he would be wearing purple right now. I have lost all respect for this man in the past 24 hours. I just took my Favre memorabilia

I've seen it before...Steve Spurrier introduced as HC in D.C., Petrino introduced in Atlanta and Stan Heath when the audience broke into the Pig Suuu-eeee chant during his introduction as Razorback HC. The Jets will regret this move more than the Packers. The Packers probably expect some degree of inexperience at QB while the J-E-T-S are looking for a miracle.

First of all, there were 7 dropped passes! The receivers did not perform well and admitted it. Second of all, how on earth do you judge a quarterback on a scrimmage and a handful of practices. McCarthy's specialty is working with quarterbacks, and if he thinks Rodgers is ready, I trust his judgment. How many of you brainiacs have ever worked as a coach in the professional, or even college ranks of football? I'm sorry, but being in a fantasy football league does not qualify you as a professional. And lastly, McCarthy and Thompson put together a team that went 13-3 last year. Brett Favre was contributor to that success, but he wasn't all, or even the majority of it. If he was, they would have been 13-3 every year. I expect some growing pains with Rodgers this year, and though I don't think he can be Favre of the mid-nineties, I think he can be a good quarterback and hopefully manage a game and not make the same bone-headed decisions Favre made. Try to take some of the emotions, and the need to rub it in, out of this and give Rodgers a chance this year.

As far as what 'fadetoblack' was saying; You couldn't be more off-base. McCarthy, not Thompson was the one who had truly had enough of Brett's crap. Reportedly in their 5 1/2 hour meeting, Brett received a phone call, from-you guessed it-Deanna, and actually ANSWERED the call. He then proceeded to talk with her for an hour. Cough...cough...WHIPPED! Talk about a lack of respect. That why MM was so fired up in his presser-and that's about as fired up as MM gets-when he said Favre is not in the right state of mind to run a football team. Brett couldn't be more convoluted IMO. He has been on the fence about everything in his career since losing his rock, Irv Favre. If you look up wishy-washy in the dictionary, there's a picture of Brett second-guessing his move to the Jets with that "I'm not real sure this was a good move" look on his face. The fact of the matter is; I will be rooting for Favre and the Jets this year, unless the Packers end up facing them in the Super Bowl, then I will definitely be NOT.

Yeah thats Rodgers.. Twice... But then again the Jets are just as dumb as the Pack.... Farve will not bring a 4 win team to the super bowl.. He will bring them playoff mediocrity and in the end make them believe they have a brighter future than they really have. They will make hte playoffs and lose in the first round. If they are lucky the second. In the NFC Farve is a top 3 QB. In the AFC he is a top 5 QB if that... Behind (in no particular order) Manning, Brady, Roethlisberger, Palmer (although his organization is a disaster) with two young guns in Cutler (i'm sorry.. he played damn good considering his health) and Rivers (and their sick defense) breathing down his neck. I'm a phins fan and I know exactly where the Jets are heading... Mediocrity for the next few years... the worst thing that can happen to a franchise... Spend/trade enough to get the playoffs or just miss them but never quite get there and never have the chance to pick up that franchise changing player..... its no mans land...

I definitely have reservations. To start at the top, the Jets win the Superbowl, I don't want this to be Brett Favre's 2nd Superbowl. We have a strong squad right now. It should be the Jets victory. We have nooooo choice anymore but to gobble up whatever we're fed, the Jets had two 70 yard TDs, and a punt return TD, and had to hold 3 times inside the five to hold on. I guess it was preseason, but was the first opportunity for me to see my team in action this season, and instead of seeing those hilights, I watched 8 seconds of plays, a red background that took up my entire big tv, with about 6 half effort stats for 30 seconds, followed by 35 minutes of "Who wins more games next season?" or "More pressure on Aaron or Brett?" Oh, don't forget the video of Brett running out of the tunnel...and the video where he threw a touchdown pass. OK, you get it. Anyway, as ridiculous durable as he has been... what if? That would suck. To an extent, I can put up with the potential interceptions. Realistically, if he throws 22-26 TDs, and 15+ picks, I am happier than 15/19 that we put up last year (behind a different o-line). Finally, a superstitious person might think that stadium clearing lighting the first time he steps on the field is a great or bad omen. whew. 2.

As a decades long Packer fan, that has been watching this guy on the mic that long, i believe you. i would have to agree with anyone who thinks about it, this guy has been through the ringer last few weeks, especially days. He was probably airborne for 9 hours today. All sorts of crazy hype, not able to get out and throw or run, although in my mind he was looking through all of the information that Tannanbaum (who is gonna get his own post) rushed to his house.... He may have wanted to be somewhere else, but he sucked it up and laid it out there. I believe that he meant it when he said he was going to have some trouble getting to know the squad, and I bet Bubba Franks feels a little more secure in a crowded TE position. (Dustin Keller, praised for his "overall unstoppableness", hope Baker stays cool and steps up because the guy can play. Maybe this new dynamic FO will do the right thing.) I've been told that he will be able to earn it on the field though, from people like you and I. I hope that his passion and dedication, no matter how we got to this point, shows up loud and clear, ESPECIALLY the next few days when he finds out that he is back in an NFL training camp. He said he wanted to play, and why shouldn't we believe that? His last throw was a pick in overtime at home, he has probably had to watch it a million times. Anyway, I hope we get the sky.

Brett Favre is going to take the Jets far this year. Aaron Rodgers will struggle, including in a tough home loss to Minnesota week one. That will mark the beginning of the new, unnecessary era in Packer history. Ted Thompson, the spineless Mark Murphy and yes, Mike McCarthy are responsible. As the head coach and leader, McCarthy has to fight for the best quarterback to run his team!!! Anything less is unacceptable. Favre was the best, by far, and he will prove it this season. A extra motivated Favre will do amazing things. Get ready to have some fun Jets fans. There are Packers fans out there, and you know who you are, who will finally realize what they had after it's gone. All Favre haters throughout the NFL will be eating crow!!!

Of course none of us know exactly what went on behind closed doors here, and Brett's HUMAN indecision on the matter didn't help. But it was painfully obvious from T.T.'s comments since he got here and the personnel moves/draft choices he made that once Rodgers was here he was waiting for him to leave. T.T. and McCarthy (not that I'm really blaming him) just both got new contracts so they probably have some leeway anyway. I really hope Rodgers succeeds. I have nothing against him (plus he's our only hope now) and he has pretty much handled this whole circus as well as anyone could. Is there any other QB in the league under as much pressure as him? (Oh boy, now I'll get ripped apart) I will also be rooting for the Jets this year. At least now that this crap is over I can get excited that football is starting up again. Whoohoo!

They stood by him for two full summers of hmming and hawing, if he really had a sense of loyalty to the team he wouldn't have put them through that, he would have been open and honest with the team and city that loved him. I am going to love to see him as a Jet, the only good reciever they have is pissed off and with their sorry excuse for a run game it is going to be dangerous holding on to the ball behind that offensive line. Favre should hurry and buddy up to Mike Vrabel so he can get those soft Michael Strahan sacks instead of being nailed to the turf.

You are loyal to someone, and expect them to be loyal to you. It's a Southern mindset, and not one understand if you are NOT southern (like The Bozo Brothers Ted and Mike in GB). The folks in GB crossed that loyalty, not Favre; he only started to be indecisive about retiring the Bozos starting showing less loyalty. That's what this is all about. As for NY, Favre will do fine there, because they (at least on the surface) sincerely want him to be there as the starting QB.

You have the Colts, Pats, Chargers and Steelers as solid contenders. The Chiefs are top heavy with rookies and young players. Houston is in the air. Miami is stiving for 2 wins this year.

Diva wanted to make sure he threw Gruden under the bus. It’s a Diva presser requirement to toss someone under.

It just seems these two never got along from day one. My assumption is it started when Rodgers was drafted, but I got believe Favre wouldn't care. Something tells me thats where it all began.

Nothing against the Jets when I say that either. He thought he was bigger than the Packers. Thought he was loved so much that they would have to back down. I guess he miscalculated how much the Packers are loved in Wisconsin and elsewhere. He was a great player in the Holmgren era. Rhodes and Sherman were afraid of him, gave him too much power and he got it into his head that he ran the team. Then he got pissed that Thompson didn't do his bidding, like hiring.....gulp.....Steve Mariucci. Florio has been writing for a couple years now that the rumour was that Favre didn't like Thompson and was trying to stick it to him by delaying whether he was going to retire after every year. Now because of his pride and sense of his own importance, he is stuck with a team he really didn't want to go to. If he fails, the NY media and fans will eat him alive. I wish he had more level headed people advising him. I think Bus Cook is a greedy fool, his family doesn't have a brain in their heads, and who knows about Deanna. She seems like a sweet lady, but who knows what fame does to people. Even though I have criticized him a lot, I felt sorry for Favre at the press conference. He looked overwhelmed. I think he knows he screwed up, but now he has to follow through, or run the risk of looking like an even bigger fool. Favre doesn’t want to play with the Jets.

Not only does it give us, er I mean, you even more of a reason to hate him, but this situation with New York has failure written all over it. The Jets will be 8-8, 9-7 at best this season. They won't get out of the first round of the playoffs, if they make it, and they won't beat the Patriots.

I mean, I knew he was an idiot and a jerk, much as his ex teammates do, but I never knew he was that stupid. The splendor of serendipity... I never knew that favre was that dumb.

As a many decade long Packer fan and a Favre fan (who has watched his press conferences for 16 years), I felt that he looked exhausted, uncomfortable and like he would have rather been anywhere else. I hope the Jets get the same Brett - the same passion, excitement and commitment to excellence (mostly!) that we got. I hope your team almost as successful as the Packers... Any reservations?
